Australia and its various related islands and territories have some of the most dangerous wildlife in the world. Everything out there seems to have one ridiculously strong biotoxin or another, and yet it seems to only take a single outside species to toss it on its ear. Wired has this article on the latest efforts to rid Tasmania of carp.

And since when did carp become edible? This was the recipe I learned for carp from a math teacher:

• Scale & fillet carp
• Preheat oven to 550 degrees (F)
• Place carp on small, flat board
• Bake for 3 hours
• Discard carp and eat board
